She bequeathed the Preston estate to her second son, Anthony Sherley (c1546-1624). It stayed in the Shirley family until Sir Richard Shirley died in 1706 and the baronetcy became extinct.

Large park of 67 acres to the north of Brighton town centre but south of Preston was laid out in the mid 1880s on walled meadow land sold to Brighton Corporation in 1883 by Ellen Stanford of Preston Manor for £50,000. (It had been offered for £30,000 seven years earlier.) The money, including the £22,868 landscaping costs, came from a £70,000 bequest by local bookmaker William Edmund Davies. The park was officially opened on 8 November 1884. The clock tower, designed by Francis May, was unveiled by the mayor, Joseph Ewart on 17 June 1892. It was funded by Edward White, whose initials are on the tower. Polo games were played on the Polo Ground at the north-west end of the farm by cavalry officers from Preston Barracks in Lewes Road until 1939. In the latter part of the 19th century, the International Gun and Polo Club Grounds were next to Preston Drove between Preston Park Avenue and the Preston Manor grounds, where the running track is now. On the south-west side a statue commissioned by Brighton Council from Peter Webster to the Olympic medal-winning athlete Steve Ovett was unveiled in 1987 and was then the most expensive public sculpture in the city, having cost £25,000; it was sawn off and stolen on the first weekend in September 2007, only the right foot remaining.
